Lovely interview by @matt_fallaize with Sean McManus about his new book ‘The Teeth of the Conger’ - an historical adventure with strong Channel Islands focus. Excellent cover by Steve Harrison and I’m honoured to have been asked to create the maps.

We are delighted that Sean McManus will be joining us in the bookshop on Saturday to chat and sign copies of his new novel, Teeth of the Conger - not to be missed!

Really enjoying The Teeth of the Conger new book by #SeanMcManus; set in the fracturing #RomanEmpire and #ChannelIslands. It's a great read. @wmarybeard I'd be interested to hear what you think. Maps drawn by @HeidiSoulsby. Buy from @blueormer

Hopefully on Channel TV on Monday evening!
